Trócaire Today FM 24Hour Fast

For Schools

Take part in the Trócaire 24 Hour Fast

Trócaire is once again asking schools to come on board and take part in the Trócaire 24 Hour Fast, on 22–23 February, 2008. It is a fun way of making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable people and communities who live in extreme poverty.

Last year almost 15,000 students took part in the Trócaire 24 Hour Fast. The Fast raised over €1 million, which helped to fund 129 development and relief projects in 38 countries!

We were able to equip some of the world's poorest people with skills and training and give them hope for the future. Thanks to your support, Trócaire has helped bring hope to vulnerable communities for over three decades.

Get involved

To get involved ask your teacher to contact Trócaire at 01 629 3333 to order Fast packs and get further information, or order Fast packs online:
